No speech from a 1980s movie is perhaps more quoted and, worse, misunderstood than this decade-defining tirade made by shady business mogul Gordon Gekko (played by Michael Douglas in an Oscar-winning turn). Both Douglas and co-writer/director Oliver Stone have repeatedly said over the last two decades that Gekko was the villain of the 1987 film, and yet for almost 25 years now they've been approached by countless businessmen (often, as Douglas is fond to point out, inebriated) who like to quote the speech to them and celebrate Gekko as the reason why they went to work on Wall Street. Talk about not paying attention during a movie.
